Engine oil viscosity (thickness) influences fuel efficiency and cold-weather operation (engine start and engine oil flowability). Engine oils with a lower viscosity may improve fuel efficiency and cold-weather performance, but higher-viscosity engine oils are required for optimal lubrication in hot weather.

Under certain conditions, using oils of a different viscosity than those recommended could cause engine damage. Consider the temperature range your car will be operated in before the next oil change when picking an oil. From the table, choose the suggested oil viscosity.
How Much Oil Does A Kia Stinger Take?
The 3.3L Kia Stinger takes 7.3 quarts of 5W-30 oil with a filter. For improved fuel efficiency, it is best to use engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 5W-30 (ACEA A5/B5). If you cannot access engine oil, consult the engine oil viscosity chart to find the right one.
The 2.5L Kia Stinger takes 6.8 quarts of 0W-30 oil with a filter. It is suggested to use a viscosity grade SAE 0W-30 (API SN or above) engine oil for better fuel efficiency. However, if the engine oil is unavailable in your area, use the oil viscosity chart to choose the best engine oil.
Be sure to use the correct viscosity rating when filling up your car with oil.
If you are unsure what oil to use, we recommend using a synthetic blend or full synthetic oil. These oils offer better protection against wear and tear than traditional motor oils. They also help keep your engine running cooler, which is beneficial in warmer climates.
What Kind Of Oil Does A Kia Stinger Take?
The Kia Stinger is a high-performance sedan that comes with a turbocharged engine. It’s important to use the right type of oil in this engine to keep it running smoothly. The owner’s manual recommends using 5W-30 synthetic oil in the Stinger. This oil will help to protect your engine and keep it running at its best.
What is Synthetic-Blend Oil?
Synthetic-blend oil is a combination of traditional petroleum-based oil and synthetic oil. This type of oil provides some of the benefits of synthetic oil, such as improved engine protection and increased fuel economy. However, it doesn’t last as long as full synthetic oil and needs to be changed more frequently.
What is Full Synthetic Oil?
Full synthetic oil is made entirely from man-made ingredients. This oil provides the best engine protection and can help increase fuel economy. Full synthetic oil also lasts longer than a traditional oil, so you won’t need to change it as often.
How Often Should I Change The Oil In My Kia Stinger?
Depending on what kind of oil you use, Kia recommends changing your Stinger’s oil & filter every 3,000 to 10,000 miles. If you use synthetic oil, you can go a little longer between oil changes. We recommend changing your Stinger’s oil & filter every 5,000 to 7,500 miles when using synthetic oil. This will help to keep your engine running smoothly and prevent a build-up of sludge and other contaminants.
How To Check Oil Level In Kia Stinger?
It’s important to check your Kia Stinger’s oil level regularly to ensure the engine has enough oil. You can check the oil level by opening the hood and locating the dipstick. The dipstick will have a mark indicating the maximum oil level. You’ll need to add more oil if the oil level is below this mark. To add oil, locate the fill cap and unscrew it. Pour in the recommended amount of oil and screw the fill cap back on.
Kia Stinger Oil Change Cost
The average Kia Stinger Oil Change, which includes up to 7 quarts of synthetic oil and a new filter, costs $111. The price may differ depending on the oil used and the location of the dealership or service center. If you’re unsure about what kind of oil is best for your car, ask one of our friendly representatives or check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations.
